(i)The department has installed generators and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units in all its modernised offices throughout the country. The department has contracted a service provider to service and repair all the generators and UPS units where necessary.
(ii) This service provider is currently in all the Provinces. The challenge is the scarcity of UPS units within the country.
